I went here and met with Ms. Katie for a custody hearing of my two sons. My ex wife made all types of false allegations against me and tried to make me look like a monster. Katie was extremely knowledgeable. She truly wet above and beyond my expectations. Thanks to her right now I have full custody of my boys. But I couldn't have done it without her. I am so thankful for her and WILL hire her again if she's ever needed. Thank You So Much Ms. Katie....

I can’t thank my family lawyer Eric Hackwelder enough for the incredible work he did for my father. He’s always professional, knowledgeable, and fought hard every step of the way. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, my father received a much lower sentence than we ever expected. He truly cared about our family and delivered outstanding results. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer who will go above and beyond, ERIC HACKWELDER IS THE BEST

We worked with Sebald, Hackwelder & Knox to navigate an ownership transfer for our business, and the experience was outstanding. Their team was knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and kept the process moving efficiently from start to finish. What could have been a complex and stressful transition was handled with professionalism and care. We are grateful for their guidance.
